For the cars equipped with Navigation, I think the clock should be updated via the satellite for day light saving time and time zone depending on your location. We shouldn't be manually adjusting the time. Oh and it is ugly.

Haha!!! never really took the time to realize that, but yea.....looks so plain and simple. I'm guessing that Lexus just decided on other things to design and the clock was not on the top of their list. Well...doesn't bother me as much as all I need it really for is just the time and to see how late I'm running to work.

I think they are releseasing an upgrade part featuring the 80's "Swatch Watch" in the center of the dash in both pastel and neon colors. That way, the clock won't be so unsightly!!!

If I remember right, that's part of the "chronograph" option, an option that costs quite a bit of $$$$.

Who cares. It's simple and easy to read. I know for me (and I know I'm not alone here) it takes a second to figure out what time it is on a analog clock. One less distraction.
